Title: Great lens
Review: Best lens on any mirrorless mount. Nice rendering and bokeh. Sharp enough. Super small.I’m not shooting Canon anymore. I wish there was a lens like this for Sony E mount.

Title: Excellent Street photography for minimalist shooting
Review: This is actually a great prime lens for the money you get (excellent deal) for it. 28 mm is part of the wide angle look close to the 16mm – 24mm ultrawides so it’s fair balance without the wide angle distortions. And with the dimensions allows for cropping without losing quality (especially if you’re shooting with a full frame camera versus cropped APS-C; where as the crop has a 1.6x that turns this 28mm into 44.8mm focal length; I haven’t tried this on a cropped sensor so disregard if you have a cropped / APS-C sensor). Not bad for low light shooting. albeit at f2.8.The build quality is pretty much plastic but it’s light. the 7-blade aperture is not really too bad and gives a nice buttery bokeh that’s pretty on par with the EF L version of the 24mm. It’s nice to see Canon aiming this at the prosumer – enthusiast market with this decent cost of $250 for an amazing, color-saturated Canon color science that we’re all used to. The corners get a bit soft but not as bad as the RF 16mm and 24mm, so this 28mm wins out on the corner tests versus the other RF lens in the same camp.Now for the cons. No IS, so either use a tripod or bring up the ISO and shutter speed.Other than my quibble about no built in IS (how can you with a pancake architecture?) but overall the photo quality, ease of use, and extreme portability when paired with Canon’s RP or R8 mirrorless wins out and makes the no IS a minor flaw that can be easily forgiven given its versatility in the field. Highly recommended.

Title: Light weight Prime
Review: I was tired of carrying my 24-70 L Zoom and tried for a more lightweight rig and got this 28mm prime. I love it and no longer have wrist pains.

Title: It did not fit my needs
Review: It is a good lens. I wanted to use it for street photography and without image stabilization, it made it too difficult. I also have lenses that cover this focal lengthMaybe at later time I’ll reconsider getting it.
